JFK: American Experience- Monday, Nov. 11 at 9pm on WOSU TV

This biography provides a fresh look at an enigmatic man, who remains one of the nation’s most beloved and mourned leaders. Beginning with Kennedy’s childhood years as the privileged but sickly second son of one the wealthiest men in America, the film explores his early political career as a lackluster congressman, his successful run for the U.S. Senate and the game-changing presidential campaign that made him the youngest elected president in U.S. history. With the benefit of recently opened archives, the film recounts his struggles with life-threatening illnesses and his efforts to keep them hidden from the public. JFK: AMERICAN EXPERIENCE offers a new perspective on his complicated private life, including his relationship with his wife, his close connection to his younger brother, Robert and his complex bond with his powerful father. It also reevaluates Kennedy’s strengths and weaknesses in the Oval Office as he navigated some of the most explosive events of the mid-20th century. JFK: AMERICAN EXPERIENCE continues with episode two on Tuesday, November 12 at 9pm on WOSU TV.
